Ten out of the Sixteen Regions have fully been supplied with laptops under the government's One Teacher-One Laptop programme. This means some 300,000 teachers, representing all categories of teachers including those in Senior High Schools (SHS), Junior High Schools (JHS), Primary, Kindergarten, Teachers on Study Leave as well as qualified non-teaching staff of the Ghana Education Service have received their laptops nationwide with less than one per cent who are expected receive through nationwide mop up exercises currently ongoing and expected to end this month. For the remaining six regions, even though some categories of beneficiaries have received their consignments, a mop-up exercise is currently underway to ensure no qualified teacher is denied the laptop. For instance, whereas some teaching staff and qualified GES Staff have received laptops in some regions, others, mainly Teachers on-Leave were yet to generate a Collection Code to claim their computers from Regional and District ICT Co-ordinators. The Ghana Education Service, working with the Teacher Unions, has stepped up efforts to ensure nationwide distribution of the laptops is completed at the end of this month.
